Short Stories with Tragic Endings

I am at the top of a water-slide in an amusement park. The attendant tells me the one side is
something the other side is something else, I can't remember what they were, but the single
tube has a right side that looks like the water is flowing faster than the left. I jump in
and ride down the slide. I am going fast but then I slow down and stop. I tsunami of water
comes up and pushes me back up the other way. After a while, I stop from that and start going
back the previous direction. After several other direction changes due to a massive water wall,
I come out the end. I am in a desert-like place but it is still supposed to be the amusement
park. I see some friends from high school and hug my one friend. It is a very long "Bear hug".
When I step back, I say I have to go to the bathroom and go over to the beginning area of what
is now not so surely a park. The entrance looks like the entrance to my house and the tile floor
cuts off into the dirt ground of the desert. As I get near the bathroom, there is a little dog that
comes up and "attacks" me, but is quite harmless. I go into the bathroom and it is more like a
closet so full the door won't close. There is a toilet on the ground but you can't get in the room
for privacy and you definitely can't sit down. Above the toilet is a safe being protected by a very
nasty looking bulldog. I relieve myself in the toilet and walk away. I then find myself in a bed. It
is like my bed at college but bigger. I am in a room where the bed is against the wall in the same
way it is in my dorm. I see my dog, Cinders, but he is completely black. Somehow I know it is him.
I beckon him to come jump up on the bed. He does. Later, he gets down and my other dog, Chelsea,
comes up. My Dad walks in and says something like "Why don't you have Cinders up there?" I reply
"I do". I have no idea why. I then find myself back in the desert setting. Now, there is fire everywhere.
There are tanks, helicopters, and soldiers with high tech guns. There is a general who is leading
everyone. A guy tells me that the general is God come down from heaven and a guy touched him
once and instantly died. Somehow I knew it was true. I go out to the battlefield and there is a helicopter
with a spotlight. This evil woman yells over a megaphone, "Those of you who allege with him will be
shot!". Several people go to the general and stand right next to him, making their point. The woman
shoots at them and they return fire. The fighting goes on for a while. I am just trying to avoid the tanks
and the mortars that are coming down everywhere. The woman comes up in her helicopter and again
says, "If you allege with him you will be shot!". I walk back to God and put my arm around his shoulder.
The woman shoots at me but doesn't hit and the dream ends.

I am in the middle of a railroad track. There is a bridge in the distance and there is a lot of
tall grass where I'm standing. I am in a small valley and there is a short trail up to the side
where the bridge is. I go up the trail and essentially I'm lost. Then the dream snaps to the
middle of what looks like London, I have never been to London so I don't know, but Adam and
I are standing on the sidewalk against a wrought iron rail that guards a drop down to a lower
level. Adam's mom pulls up in their Blue Honda Accord and I get in. Adam hands me a bicycle
helmet and I put it on. We arrive at this banquet or wedding reception or something and I take
off the helmet. At the time when this happens, I am not in the car but more floating about 15
feet about the ground. I look around at the reception for a while from a sky-view
and I wake up

I had this dream the night before as well but didn't remember it.
It sparked my memory when I had it again last night.

I am visiting my high school and I am in one of the classrooms. The desks are all in a circle and
There are these word puzzles. I am required to do them for Millersville and the high school
students also have to do them. The University sent everyone back to their high schools to work
on these word puzzles with high school students. After meeting with the high school, I find myself
in a different building sitting at a table with four other Millersville students whom I do not know.
They are my discussion group. Not the one for my speech class but another one. We talk about the
puzzles, but then this girl in the group starts asking me questions. "What competition's have you
been in?". I go down the list COB, TOB, FIRST... The dream ends
